SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of setting up reliable command-line email access so an AI or user can list, search, and act on emails without brittle, manual steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Terminal email operations: List inbox/mailbox items, read messages, compose replies, forward, delete/move, and manage flags using a stateless CLI flow.
  • Structured outputs for automation: Produce JSON for machine parsing (especially for envelope and folder listing), enabling agent-driven workflows.
  • Attachment handling and provider setup: Support common providers and authentication modes (including OAuth 2.0) and download attachments for downstream processing.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to list your most recent emails as JSON so you can then select message IDs to read or reply to.
